Metropolis
LexCorp
Clark and the co. arrive in the LexCorp, via Diana's Jet, in the outside area of the building.
The team step out, spiritually greeted by the head-tower of Lex's.
A sight opened their eyes on LexCorp's entrance doors, concealed by a dull-nest.
"A nest?", Clark exclaimed. "Step back. Any close touch could turn you into one of those things".
"Zombies?", Nate questioned, which Clark nodded.
"Great. We're finally in an area where the front doors are blocked", said Cisco, pissed. "Mister cheapskate should've introduced us more compassionately".
"How can he be around when Supergirl already finished him?", Caitlin reminded.
"It's an expression", Cisco excused, met by Caitlin's skeptical look. "It is. Do you know how many resources he's taken from us? Millennium". Team Flash agreed with Cisco. Lex is a psychopathic, ungenerous, exploiter who can never is levels of substandard, never keen on showing any sympathy or remorse. It's all about the money, power and business. Now Lex's dead.
"Right?", she mocked. She knew Cisco for years since their early years in S.T.A.R. Labs, nothing can change it. "Why not consider it a spiritual expression?".
"Ha ha. Very funny", Cisco remarked.
Whilst the two were busy arguing in friendly basis, Diana and Clark were glazing at any alternative way they can get inside, from the outside. No small scaled paths.
"Find anything?", Clark asked Diana, whom shoved a 'No'. "Wait what's that over there?". Clark pinned his finger, prompting Diana to check in.
A corner wall, covered with organic waste trees. Diana takes them out, revealing a vent.
"We found something", Clark yelled, alerting the others, whom were preoccupied with their respective side. Everyone came in Clark and Diana's point.
Size of it wasn't fit to phase certain people like John, Rene, Curtis and others who are armed. Either suited or wielding a gun.
"John, Sara, Rene, Dinah, Curtis, Nate, Amaya. Guard the Jet", Diana ordered the following people, mentioned. They complied, nodding. "The rest of us will head inside, and seek for the...".
"The extrapolator", Cisco finished for her.
"The extrapolator", Diana followed over. "And seek allies from other worlds to aid us in our fight".
"We can't just leave them here", Iris objected, not buying the choice of leaving some of their allies behind. Numbers and numbers.
"Iris", Barry called. Hands tendered on Iris's shoulders. "As much as I hate going with this, we don't have much of a choice. Just like every other choice we had to make".
"You did Barry!", Felicity shot, pacing in advance to Barry and Iris's point. Barry, confused, shaped a confused visage. "Maybe if you sticked like glue in that other timeline, none of this would've happened".
"Are we seriously having this discussion?", former Flash questioned.
"Yes!", Rene objected. Marching forth to Barry. "You brought this world to its knees. You did". Rene's tough rage, poking at him, fiercely, slightly feared Barry, only because he assumed that he's destroyed his life too.
"That's enough!", Clark yelled, silencing the group. "We have a job. So I suggest you take it. Like I said, no one's going to die". The powerless Superman faces to the people, Diana referred to stay back. "Not even you seven".
"Well that's a relief", Dinah replied, ironically.
"Look, you either wait patiently in here, or give us all the run for our lives", Clark explained to her.
Hypothesised as end of discussion, Clark and his group cross inside the vents. Whilst the remaining seven guard outside.
All seven clouded their eyes in their surroundings, most of them aimed at the nest. Clark lectured them that creatures can rebirth themselves from nests, and these are the type infect anything they grasp in hold.
Inside LexCorp
Group one leaked out from the opening squared-tube. Inside reception room. Every most of the faces of the wall are twisted with dark roots and vines. Ones that flinched Cisco, Ray and Felicity back, quietly, given the number of deceased souls loafing around in the area.
Diana speeds in fast pace, stabbing a cut in one zombie's neck, which caught its fellow allies' attention. Which was too late for them to shift any moment as their throats be at hand sliced by Lyla, Clark, Lois, and Barry.
They motioned in full-breath.
Felicity walks over one of the motionless corpses. "Gross", she remarked, disgust in near vomit.
"Lex's secret vault, if I recall from my recent dash in here, lies in his main office", said Clark.
"Elevator's not working", Cisco revealed, after attempting to tap on the buttons of the elevator three times. "Looks like we'll have to take the stairs".
Affirmed for their choice, Clark's group motion cautiously on the chairs.
"Kate, stay close with me", Diana motherly addressed her daughter, who complied.
Outside LexCorp
Remaining seven, whom stand out, continue to watch over their surroundings, edgily. Their aspirations on finding the extrapolator. Can't tell. They're not gods.
John, Rene, Dinah guard the entrance of Diana's Jet.
Nate, Amaya, Curtis, and Sara precaution themselves over the nest. Any minute, something will twitch, and it will caught them off guard.
"You okay?", John asked, his voice sounding so inconsolable.
Rene bides his moment for a second, before turning to John.
"No. Not okay"
"Must've been hard for the both of us to lose our kids", John addressed, less publicly. His voice tunes down, not tending on letting anyone listen on their talk. "I hate him too. We're going to bring him to justice".
"And how can you be so sure, Hoss?", Rene questioned. His distinctive tone slightly rises. "We're outnumbered. We lost a lot of good people. While we're losing all the mobs, that psychotic man, along with his wife, holds an army. An army we can't face".
"An army we can face", John corrected. Rene gave a confused facial expression. "Once we're geared in that other world, allied with some of Barry's friends, we should be more than enough".
"Hoss. Our team can never stand up to the likes of two beings who place themselves leagues above us". Rene could perceive it, their future. He may not be a fortune teller, he does have a sense of intuition. Diggle lowers his head down, thinking to himself, what might they have in their game.
Inside LexCorp
Clark and the co. upright post every rail of the step they phase in. No sudden cause jumpscares them.
They finally reached the up corridors, after running up the stairs for 6 minutes.
"Lex's main office is right over there", Clark revealed, pointing his finger over to the door far distanced from them. The area is so big, multiple creatures reside in every corner, operable, mindless. Nests stacked in niches of walls.
"We can't guarantee our cross unless we take them on", said Cisco, startled and agitated, similar to Felicity.
Much sooner, violent critters notice their upcoming desert's presence: Clark's group.
"Barry, Cisco, Iris, Caitlin, Felicity", Clark called out to ensuing names he's mentioned. "You two go one without us". Team Flash can get in touch with them more hasty than Clark, Wonder Woman, and Kate, whom don't know exact whereabouts of allies in other worlds, considered as they never worked with them, in earlier years.
"And take Kate with you", Diana requested, in serious tone. More focused on taking reams of mutated freaks.
"Mummy? Aren't you coming?", Kate questioned, in a low voice, not comfortable with hanging with strangers she's not known of.
Diana kneels down, matching her head to Kate's, placing her hands on her daughter's shoulders. She respires a small care, depressing her tone down a bit. "Kate, you can't be here". She'd think it'd be brutal but that's how a mother roles, for sake of her daughter. "I know you want to stay by my side, and I can respect it. But you can't be here because I won't be able to release my full strength without knowing your in good hands".
Tears slip from Kate's eyes. She doesn't trust anyone, nor does she accept anyone, other than Bruce and Diana, to be by her side. It was mixed heritage from Diana and Bruce, they both unfold a sense to not trust anyone, except specified people. Diana bestows her little girl a cosy hug, Kate's head leans over her shoulder.
Amazonian tilts his head to Team Flash and Felicity. "Make sure she's safe". Everyone, ordered in distinct from Diana, Clark, Lois, and Lyla, nodded, as they cross path an opening laid in the midst of a classed elements, from combined efforts of Lois, Lyla and Clark.
"Lois. Lyla. I think the two of you should-"
"Save it Smallville, I have my eyes on them", Lois shot. Her gun wielded in her hands, flicking pellets at a few zombies, pushing them back a bit.
"I can't convince you, ever, can I?"
"No you won't"
Clark and Diana charge straight, head on against a ton of corpses, using respective weapons. Diana wielding her sword and shield. Clark banishes superbat katana, slicing every subsequent pile of them on floor. His code, as Superman, used to be the no-killing rule, but under the stress of mutated-corpses, and his loss in power, Clark is way beyond forgiving his code. He still has morality within me, though he can't take it out. There's no civilisation, no peace, no control. It's impossible. Not even the Dark Knight can present it in public.
Barry, Felicity, Iris, Caitlin, Cisco and Kate drive, by running, to Lex's main office. His room externally contours the same shape as any main office in a towered company. Desk, large bay, seats. Only thing differed in here is offset of dull organic mists, spreed in bricked-palisades, big screens, even most of the perimeters on floor.
"How is this his secret vault?", Cisco questions. In many billionaire companies, he's certain of, not in the least did he know that they store their personal items in secret rooms. Unless they're all so-villainous like Lex himself.
"Last I remembered, Malcolm realized a lot of secret vaults in his layers, in Merlyn Global Group", Felicity revealed, to Cisco, who now noted down in his head.
"So where is this secret vault, he treasures his stuff in?", Barry asks. He's aware they don't know his secret room, since they never visited LexCorp, not a metre close. His endeavour in asking is for the very best of their team.
"Go close to every wall, using your hands. If there's a particular unique metal joint, that should be ticket to his sub-base", Felicity explained, sharing her past views of experience of what it was like to keep Team Arrow's secret layer covert.
Cisco and Caitlin observe the walls, they're passing through. Whilst Barry, Iris, and Felicity inspect Luthor's desk, looking for any matter, material, packs, or a working pad.
5 minutes, till Barry addressed an differed feeling from his hand, disconcertingly sticked on a pointed wall. Wallpaper concealed, Barry rips it off, revealing a hidden device.
"Is that-"
"A button?", Cisco named. He, along with everyone else assumed what this meant: they found the key to accessing his secret passage.
Barry plunges his finger on round-shaped disc. A flat parallel lane, horizontal, unfolds its thick body aside, give way an opening for Team Flash and Felicity to cross through.
"Brilliant", Cisco remarked. As they step inside his passage.
As they reached the end of the corridor, they precept a thousand mechanical working process techs, still functioning well, despite the overall devastation struck in LexCorp.
"Oh my God", Felicity exclaimed. One hand attached to her mouth. Everyone offhand approved her spook. Lex Luthor's secret vault is a nightmare.
Inspecting through operational techs, in a black-situated room. Lots of aspects of Kryptonite used in various constructions, to counter Kryptonians. Many exo-suits, firmed with diversity of functions, installed within. Orb crystals. Different plats of Nth metals. Spear of Destiny. Hazmat suits. Lex's personal-made toys.
"There it is", Cisco addressed.
Finally, they found exactly what they're looking for. A glass container, enclosing a rare object Clark and the co. were looking for. The extrapolator.
Iris draws her gun out, hammering it onto contained glass, shattering it in the process. She takes the button out.
"Ready?", Iris questions, to everyone, whom nodded in response. Iris prints her finger on extrapolator's circled spot, opening a portal.
'You guys better be safe', Barry subjected his thought in, referring to Clark, Lois, Diana and Lyla.
"Kate, stay near us", Iris warmly requested. Kate wasn't known to interacting with strangers, but in this case, she is.
Everyone bridged into the portal. All moving to Earth-2.
